A robots.txt file tells search engine crawlers which pages or files they can or cannot request from your site, helping to manage crawler traffic.
It helps search engines crawl your site more efficiently by directing them to important content and away from unnecessary pages, improving your site's crawl budget.
It's recommended to check your robots.txt file after any major site changes or at least monthly to ensure it's properly configured.
Watch for missing User-agent declarations, conflicting rules, blocking important resources, and incorrect syntax that could affect search engine crawling.
